Happy Towel Day!!! Don't forget to carry your towel with you everywhere (yes, everywhere) you go on May 25th. If you have a camera, snap a few photos of you and your towel, then share them with us on the "Towel Day Pictures" board. If you don't have a camera, just borrow one from a strag. After all, the strag will happily lend you, the hitchhiker, a camera or a dozen other items that you might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that anyone who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still know where his towel is is clearly someone to be reckoned with.Click on the banner for instructions on how to put this banner on your web site or signature.

Topic: Towel Day 2010 in Colorado Springs (Read 14719 times)

42 days to go and I still don't have specific plans. I would be open to a party of some sort if anyone else is interested. Or we could coordinate an off the wall sort of event. We've done a "Towel Day Surprise" at the Zoo before (ask strangers to hold your towel while you snap a picture of them). We could so something similar or something even more outrageous.

I am open to ideas. Anyone going to be in the Springs area on May 25th?

Unfortunately, I'll have classes that day, so I probably won't be able to do any out-of-state traveling. If the next one falls on a weekend, though, I will seriously consider it, as Colorado isn't really all that far (I'm in Oregon). I've had mostly fun Towel Days thus far, but they haven't been very ambitious, and I'm going to change that if it kills me, which it almost certainly will. I guess money is the main issue...

". . . We realised we had been myopically shortsighted to think this thing was just an adding machine. . . . So we began to develop it as a super typewriter. With a long and increasingly incomprehensible feature list. Users of Microsoft Word will know what I'm talking about."

Unless we happen to meet up with any other hitchhikers, it looks like our Towel Day might consist of Towel Day Surprise in the park (where we hand unsuspecting strangers our towel and then snap a photo of bewildered subject - yes, we explain afterward - if they haven't run away). Then maybe a barbeque in the yard and supporting the US Men's National Soccer team with psychic towel energy.
